Authorities say golfers at a Florida course heard gunshots, and when they investigated, found the bodies of two women.
Leon County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. James McQuaig says the golfers found the bodies near Hilaman Park Golf Course in Tallahassee. He says the golfers heard two shots at about 5 p.m. Tuesday.
The names of the victims have not been released, and McQuaig didn't have their ages.
McQuaid says the bodies were found in a grassy area between the golf course and an adjacent apartment complex.
He says the golfers didn't see anyone fleeing after the shots rang out.

What is it about Denton? Despite sporting a population smaller than that of the Borough of Reading, the small Texan city already boasts amongst its ranks the criminally-ignored veteran indie-country outfit Centro-Matic, plus Bella Union signings Lift To Experience and Midlake amongst others. Now, they also have the swirling musical artistry of Robert Gomez.
Because musical artistry is what Brand New Towns is. Set apart from the unfortunate singer/songwriter stereotype of soppy songwriting and twelve tracks of major guitar chords, Gomez's debut is instead forty-eight minutes of blissful musical landscapes, captivating in its depth and topped by the quiet melancholy of his soft vocals. A living, breathing arrangement of instruments and feelings, intelligently filling the frequencies in much the same way that Ed Harcourt does, the album benefits from crystal clear production from the hands of Centro-Matic's Matt Pence.
Taking in a huge range of influences – indie, rock, classical and electronic references can spring up at any one point – Gomez is no one-trick pony. Recently-released opening track 'Closer Still' (EP review here) is upfront with its fuzzy guitar line, hyperactive drums, brass section and looped, reversed and delayed guitar effects not unlike that of Joseph Arthur, but is immediately followed by the contrasting, downtempo 'All We Got' – reclining, withdrawing and more basic in arrangement, although no less effective.
This juxtaposition is evident throughout the album, during the course of which comparisons could be drawn to Soulwax (as the tender 'If I Could Have You Back' mirrors the softer moments of Much Against Everyone's Advice), the keyboard wonderment created by Grandaddy and the downtrodden-yet-optimistic writing style of Mark Oliver Everett. Yet the songs rarely commit to sounding like any of these, instead building layer upon layer on the foundations provided by their influences, until each one winds down its own unique path, with a couple of exceptions.
If there's a criticism to be made of Brand New Towns, it's certainly not of the musicianship, nor the ambition contained within; more the slightest hint that the hushed melancholy applied within Gomez's vocals straddles depression a little too often. Despite possessing a tender beauty, this voice is often unchanging regardless of its surroundings, whether stranded in the eye of a storm or sat solemnly somewhere alone. This creates, in places, the tendency for songs of a similar tempo to merge into one long sigh rather than the individual breathtaking moments they should be.
But that's only a small question asked of a grand album, and this doesn't take long to either ignore or overcome. After awe-inducing full-length excellence from Fionn Regan and Midlake in 2006, Bella Union have started 2007 in promising fashion. It may not be perfect, but Brand New Towns' sweeping intricacies promise a lot for the future.

How much dancing did Natalie Portman do? This has been a question circling around Black Swan since the Oscar nominations came out. We covered it here. The controversy died down after Portman won the Oscar. Well, it's heated up again thanks to dancing double Sarah Lane telling the Wall Street Journal that she did "basically all the dancing". The studio stands behind Portman. But no one ever believes a studio. However now someone has spoken up that people are likely to believe.
Director Darren Aronofsky has given this exclusive to E! Online on the controversy:
Here is the reality. I had my editor count shots. There are 139 dance shots in the film. 111 are Natalie Portman untouched. 28 are her dance double Sarah Lane. If you do the math that's 80 percent Natalie Portman. What about duration? The shots that feature the double are wide shots and rarely play for longer than one second. There are two complicated longer dance sequences that we used face replacement. Even so, if we were judging by time over 90% would be Natalie Portman. And to be clear Natalie did dance on pointe in pointe shoes. If you look at the final shot of the opening prologue, which lasts 85 seconds, and was danced completely by Natalie, she exits the scene on pointe. That is completely her without any digital magic. I am responding to this to put this to rest and to defend my actor. Natalie sweated long and hard to deliver a great physical and emotional performance. And I don't want anyone to think that's not her they are watching. It is.
We think this should end the controversy. It's hard to believe that Aronofsky would make such specific claims (which could be easily countered) if they weren't true.

Kurt Angle visits Pine-Richland High School wrestling team
TNA wrestling star pushes 'Save Olympic Wrestling' campaign
Kurt Angle wants today's young wrestlers in the Pittsburgh area to dream of winning a gold medal, just like he did, so he's on a mission to save wrestling as an Olympic sport -- and he's using his status as a pro wrestling star to do it.
Angle, of Moon Township, visited the Pine-Richland High School wrestling team for a pep talk and some mat work on Wednesday afternoon. He also wanted to meet their inspirational coach, Ben Rings, who was recognized by People magazine for teaming up his wrestlers with special needs students through the Best Buddies program and helping to build bonds between students.
"This is a big time for us. This is a very important time," Angle said. "And to inspire these kids to want to wrestle and continue on, and not just wrestle in junior high and high school but go to college and wrestle, and possibly after there, God willing, try out for the Olympics or the World Team, it makes me feel a little better about myself."
As one of the top stars in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Angle is the face of the company's "Save Olympic Wrestling" campaign. He's also among the big names like Hulk Hogan and Sting who will be a part of TNA's nationally televised "Impact Wrestling" show Thursday night at the new IUP campus arena, the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex. The Pine-Richland team will be bused to the live event so they can watch it in person.
In February, the International Olympic Committee voted to drop wrestling from its schedule for the 2020 Summer Olympics. Angle is convinced that the unexpected decision, made via secret ballot, was motivated by politics and TV ratings, not athletics.
Wrestling -- which dates back to the first Olympics in Greece -- must now compete with seven other sports that are being considered for one open spot in the 2020 Games. Also on the list are baseball/softball, karate, squash, roller sports, sport climbing, wake boarding and wushu.
Some state lawmakers are pushing for a resolution in Harrisburg to show that Pennsylvania supports the idea of reinstating wrestling as an Olympic sport. North Allegheny High School graduate Jake Herbert, a 2012 Olympian, has been a part of that effort.
"I believe, thank God, right now they're at a point where there's such a huge backlash, I don't believe they're going to be able to drop wrestling. It would be heartbreaking," Angle said. "I would feel for these kids. Them not having the opportunity to represent their country in the Olympic Games in the best sport and the oldest sport in the world, and having sports like pentathlon or badminton -- and roller skating that they want to add -- and thinking of the tradition of wrestling, it would break my heart. These guys really give up a lot when they take on this sport. To give up most of their life to train and not be able to go after the pinnacle of wrestling, which is an Olympic gold medal, that would be a crime."
Before gaining worldwide fame as a pro wrestling star, Angle won a state title at Mt. Lebanon High School and a national championship at Clarion University. Now, the 1996 gold medalist is enjoying the chance to get back to his roots.
"I've been away from amateur wrestling so long," Angle said. "Last year, when I trained for the Olympics and kept getting hurt and realized I couldn't make it, I realized this is what I want to do. I want to get back into wrestling -- 'How can I do it? Are there different ways?' -- and when this whole Olympic campaign came around, I've been going around the nation and speaking to different programs and talking about the importance of wrestling and how it's important to keep it in the Olympics."

Women's Nike Free TR 7 904651-102 - White/Elemental Rose/Volt Glow/Metallic Silver
Nike Free OriginsAfter learning that Stanford athletes had been training barefoot, three of Nike's most innovative and creative employees set out to develop a shoe that felt natural and weightless, similar to bare feet. The team spent four years studying the biomechanics of runners' feet in motion. The results yielded a profound understanding of the foot's natural landing angle, pressure and toe position, allowing Nike designers to build an unconventional and flexible running shoe from the inside out.

UR::DataSource::Filesystem - Get and save objects to delimited text files
# Create an object for the data file my $people_data = UR::DataSource::Filesystem->create( columns => ['person_id','name','age','street_address'], sorted_columns => ['age','person_id'], path => '/var/lib/people/$state/$city/people.txt', delimiter => "\t", # between columns in the file record_separator => "\n", # between lines in the file ); # Define an entity class for the people in the file class MyProgram::Person { id_by => 'person_id', has => [ name => { is => 'String' }, age => { is => 'Number' }, street_address => { is => 'String' }, city => { is => 'String' }, state => { is => 'String' }, ], data_source_id => $people_data->id, }; # Get all people that live in any city named Springfield older than 40 my @springfielders = MyProgram::Person->get(city => 'Springfield', 'age >' => 40);
A Filesystem data source object represents one or more files on the filesystem. In the simplest case, the object's 'path' property names a file that stores the data. Properties These properties determine the configuration for the data source. path <string> path is a string representing the path to the files. Besides just being a simple pathname to one file, the string can also be a specification of many similar files, or a directory containing multiple files. See below for more information about 'path' record_separator <string> The separator between lines in the file. This gets stored in $/ before calling getline() to read data. The default record_separator is "\n". delimiter <string> The separator between columns in the file. It is used to construct a regex with qr() to split() a line into a list of values. The default delimiter is '\s*,\s*', meaning that the file is separated by commas. Another common value would be "\t" for tabs. columns <ARRAY> A listref of column names in the file. Just as SQL tables have columns, Filesystem files also have named columns so the system knows how to read the file data into object properties. A Filesystem data source does not need to specify named columns if the 'columns_from_header' property is true. Classes that use the Filesystem data source attach their properties to the data source's columns via the 'column_name' metadata. Besides the columns directly named in the 'columns' list, two additional column-like tokens may be used as a column_name: '__FILE__' and '$.'. __FILE__ means the object's property will hold the name of the file the data was read from. $. means the value will be the input line number from the file. These are useful when iterating over the contents of a file. Since these two fake columns are always considered "sorted", it makes reading from the file faster in some cases. See the 'sorted_columns' discussion below for more information. sorted_columns <ARRAY> A listref of column names that the file is sorted by, in the order of the sorting. If a column is sorted in descending order, put a minus (-) in front of the name. If the file is sorted by multiple columns, say first by last_name and then by first_name, then include them both: sorted_columns => ['last_name','first_name'] The system uses this information to know when to stop reading if a query is done on a sorted column. It's also used to determine whether a query done on the data source matches the sort order of the file. If not, then the data must be gathered in two passes. The first pass finds records in the file that match the filter. After that, the matching records are sorted in the same way the query is requesting before returning the data to the Context. The Context expects incoming data to always be sorted by at least the class' ID properties. If the file is unsorted and the caller wants to be able to iterate over the data, then it is common to have the class' ID properties specified like this: id_by => [ file => { is => 'String', column_name => '__FILE__' }, line => { is => 'Integer', column_name => '$.' }, ] Otherwise, it will need to read in the whole file and sort the contents before returning the first row of data from its iterator. columns_from_header <boolean> If true, the system will read the first line of the file to determine what the column names are. header_lines <integer> The number of lines at the top of the file that do not contain entity data. When the file is opened, this number of lines are skipped before reading data. If the columns_from_header flag is true, the header_lines value should be at least 1. handle_class <string> Which class to use for reading and writing to the file. The default is IO::File. Any other value must refer to a class that has the same interface as IO::File, in particular: new, input_line_number, getline, tell, seek and print. Path specification Besides referring to just one file on the filesystem, the path spec is a recipe for finding files in a directory tree. If a class using a Filesystem data source does not have 'table_name' metadata, then the path specification must resolve to file names. Alternatively, classes may specify their 'table_name' which is interpreted as a file within the directory indicated by the path specification. Three kinds of special tokens can also appear in a file spec: $property When querying, the system will extract the value (or values, for an in-clause) of $property from the BoolExpr when constructing the pathname. If the BoolExpr does not have a value for that property, then the system will do a shell glob to find the possible values. For example, given this path spec and query: path => '/var/people/$state/$city/people.txt' my @people = MyProgram::People->get(city => 'Springfield', 'age >' => 40); it would find the data files using the glob expression /var/people/*/Springfield/people.txt It also knows that any objects coming from the file /var/people/CA/Springfield/people.txt must have the value 'CA' for their 'state' property, even though that information is not in the contents of the file. When committing changes back to the file, the object property values are used to determine which file it should be saved to. The property name can also be wrapped in braces: /var/people/${state}_US/city_${city}/people.txt &method The replacement value is resolved by calling the named method on the subject class of the query. The method is called like this: $replacement = $subject_class->$method( $boolexpr_or_object); During a query, the method is passed a BoolExpr; during a commit, the method is passed an object. It must return a string. The method name can also be wrapped in braces: /&{resolve_prefix}.dir/people.txt *, ? Literal shell glob wildcards are honored when finding files, but their values are not used to supply values to objects. Environment Variables If the environment variable $UR_DBI_MONITOR_SQL is true, then the Filesystem data source will print information about the queries it runs.

Chicken soup is often referred to as "Jewish penicillin," but at my house the cure-all usually comes with an Italian accent. Stracciatelli (also known as rag soup) is a family favorite, and it's a snap to prepare with store-bought reduced-sodium chicken broth.
The broth is brought to a strong simmer, and then a mixture of eggs, freshly grated Parmesan and fresh breadcrumbs are whisked in. Using good freshly grated Parmesan (preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano) and fresh breadcrumbs is critical, and the soup is even better when homemade chicken stock is used. Fresh breadcrumbs can be made in the food processor, but for the small amount needed for the recipe I usually grate a day-old baguette on a box grater.
The soup is pure comfort, and is especially enjoyed by my children and their friends, who all learned to make the soup during one of my summer cooking camps. While the children like the soup as is, a sprinkling of chopped fresh parsley, basil or chives makes a nice finishing touch.
Makes 6 1-cup servings.

The sun beats down on my sweaty top half while my legs go numb underwater. At the far end of the shallow turquoise pool I'm standing in yawns the cave mouth.
"Watch out for the current!" a guide yells at half a dozen tourists who make their tentative way toward the opening in the rock face. "You'll have to fight it!"
I notice the tourists all wear flotation devices around their waists. I do not. Nor do I have a guide. Also, we only just finished lunch, which included a couple of very punchy rum punches.
There are no signs identifying what I'd heard called "the swim of a lifetime," but I'm here at Titou Gorge on Dominica (pronounced Domi-NEE-ka), a small Caribbean island whose name often gets it confused with the Dominican Republic.
"It'll be narrow and dark!" the guide continues with what must be the world's worst-ever pitch. "But just keep going!"
I'm Canadian; I can handle a bit of cold water, I tell myself. And strong current? Can't be worse than the average undertow. But narrow and dark as well? Why am I doing this again, exactly?
I look around for my two companions, music journalists who are visiting the island, like me, for the annual World Creole Music Festival. Martei, the dreadlocked Jamaican, is still on land, fiddling with his underwater camera. Jesse, the much whiter Floridian, is dipping a toe in the pool, then yelping a couple of bad words.
Meanwhile, the guide's disembodied voice echoes from inside the gorge. "There's nowhere to stop and rest till you're inside, so whatever you do, just keep moving!"
And suddenly, the last tourist has been swallowed by the cave mouth.
Tired of waiting for Martei and Jesse, I take the plunge, cross the pool and enter the gorge - and it's exactly as advertised: I can't see a thing, the water is bone-chilling cold, and I have to kick like mad just to keep from going backward. "Titou" is the word for it, all right: It means "small throat" in the local Creole.
But a few minutes later, my eyes adjust, and by reaching out both arms, I can touch the walls that undulate a good 20 feet up to a sliver of sky. A few minutes and strong kicks later, and the narrow passage opens into a chamber bathed in greenish light filtered through a canopy of trees that arch over the cliff walls. Around one side, the tour group is standing on an underwater ledge outside the pull of the current. There's no room for me, so I aggressively tread water while the guide explains that the gorge was formed thousands of years ago when water flowing from a mountain lake cut through layers of volcanic rock, creating pools and falls along the way.
Dominica is still being formed by volcanic activity, it turns out: Its nine volcanoes make getting anywhere, including here, an often tortuous drive through landscape so rugged that much of it is uninhabited. The result, though, is one of the most pristine islands in the world. Its six varieties of lush tropical forest, 365 rivers and 12 major waterfalls has earned it the moniker "The Nature Island."
"This is only the first chamber," the guide concludes, "but proceed at your own risk. Please head back if you're not a strong swimmer."
Most float back; a couple continue. I hang out on the ledge until Martei and Jesse finally appear, Jesse still swearing about the water temperature.
When the last of the tour group empties out, the three of us forge on. We pass through another chamber, then another, until we finally see it: a short but powerful waterfall at the far end. The current is so strong here, we keep to the sides to avoid being swept away. And we have to yell to hear each other above the roar.
It's then I notice the rope, slightly to one side. With great difficulty, we manage to pull ourselves up it, one by one, fighting the water that threatens to slam us into the side wall. When we finally make it up and over, we're in another small chamber, fed by yet another waterfall. By now, the noise is so deafening and the current so powerful, we can barely move, much less talk.
Instead, we balance on the lip of the first waterfall and jump into the pool below. It's deep enough to dive in, so we do. We jump and dive, hauling ourselves up the rope over and over. It's deliriously fun. And since we're constantly fighting the current, we stop feeling the cold. (This also means that a sprained toe and badly scraped legs - mine - go unnoticed until much later.) In fact, time seems to stop in this primeval place. We explore smaller chambers and mini-waterfalls. We hang from vines and test the echo. We float from slanted sunbeams into shadowy pools of blue and green. We keep marvelling that we have this magical place to ourselves. When we're finally disgorged back into the sunlit pool, we're surprised to learn we've been inside nearly two hours.
But the loveliness doesn't end there. What we hadn't noticed before is a small, steaming waterfall off to the side of the pool, with a seat for one hewn into the rock. The water comes from a geothermal spring. We take turns under the hot shower until it's time to go - just as another tour group arrives.
Yet you can't call this island touristy. The reason we're here is the tourism authority would very much like Dominica to become as well-known as its neighbours: Guadeloupe, Antigua and Barbuda to the north; Martinique, St. Lucia and Barbados to the south. The reason for its relative obscurity may lie in its volcanic origins: You're more likely to find black-sand beaches than white, and the best spots for snorkelling tend to be off rough, rocky shorelines. Nor is it overrun with large resorts; with a few exceptions, much of the accommodation is on the basic side.
That said, there's no question that Dominica deserves a lot more love, at least as an ecotourism destination. Hikers, especially, will swoon over Dominica's pride and joy: the 200-kilometre-long Wai'tukubuli Trail that traverses the entire island, south to north. While seasoned trekkers can attempt the whole thing in a couple of weeks, it's divided into 14 segments that are graded, from easy to advanced. I hiked the "easy" 10th segment through mountainous rainforest, picking ripe grapefruits, tangerines, guavas and wild strawberries along the way. During our 2-1/2-hour hike, my naturalist guide and I met only a handful of locals - and the odd hummingbird and endangered parrot - but not a single fellow tourist.
This was a recurring theme almost everywhere on the island. Granted, the surf was particularly rough due to Hurricane Sandy, but snorkelling one windy afternoon at Champagne Reef (so named for the bubbles emitted by geothermic vents under the ocean floor, making you feel like you're swimming in a glass of champagne) was a solitary experience, save for a regular visitor from Guadeloupe.

DWTS 2011 – Carrie Ann Inaba Talks About Judging Dancing With The Stars and More
Carrie Ann Inaba talked with Better TV about what's it's like to judge one the top ratest shows in America. Carrie Ann talks of how she still gets nervous before every show. She wasn't nervous to dance in front of 80,000 people screaming on stage, but, it's the opposite when "judging" in a small studio setting on TV. "Throwing up" has become a rutual before every show. She says Bruno and Len are like her "husbands". More below on the judging dynamics. Carrie Anne also talks a little about her acting background, why she likes comedy versus drama, and her future aspirations. I think this is an older video, but, it's still fun for those suffering from Dancing With The Stars withdrawals and anything will do. Well, I think?

Employers who encourage their staff to conduct business in virtual worlds such as Second Life are being advised that a dress code policy should be enforced before employees are let loose in cyberspace.
According to analysts at Gartner, 70% of companies will have set behaviour and dress code guidelines within the next five years.
The concept isn't surprising, as you'd expect any employee representing a company to be issued with ground rules. However, the introduction of virtual world working brings with it a new set of challenges for managers, many of whom have already shown a lack of understanding and slowness to react to trends such as blogging and acceptable Internet use.
Having said that, if companies are official sanctioning their workers to form business relationships online, they are presumably forward thinking companies with an understanding of the risks and potential pitfalls. [Read more…]

By Amanda Wicks
(RADIO.COM) – What happens when you sit a bunch of kids down and introduce them to Gun N' Roses for the first time? Hilarity. After the success of "Kids React to Metallica," the clever minds behind the idea shared another installation, "Kids React to Guns N' 'Roses."
The kids, who range between ages 6 and 13, listen to the band's 1987 album Appetite for Destruction, and their reactions to the title alone are funny. "Ok, that's a weird name," says Max (age 8). Dominick (age 7) might have the best response, though. "What?" he asks, incredulously.
When they learn the band's name, Sydney (age 9) can't quite understand the combination. "Roses are so elegant and then guns are war and violence," she says.
Most of the kids dig "Welcome to the Jungle," but some of the other songs don't quite hold up to the high bar it set. But, all in all, Guns N' Roses make some new fans. Clever Sydney sums it up best. "These guys are gooood," she says, drawing out the last word.

Last week a member of the EVE corporation Habitual Euthanasia (alliance Pandemic Legion) lost his Revenant Supercarrier in a battle with members of Black Legion. Why is this a big deal? Well, it is the first time an an ultra-rare faction ship has been destroyed and it is expensive.
The loss of the ship is estimated to be somewhere between 280B and 330B ISK, which equates to around $8,000-$9,000 in US dollars. In-game items do have a real-world value thanks to the use of Plex and someone is likely still upset over this loss.
You can watch a clip of the event above and there is also a Soundcloud file below (WARNING very harsh language and comments) of Pandemic Legion's communication after the event, it seems that several of Pandemic's people had received a call to go help someone and walked into a trap. Double ouch! That my friends is how you destroy a Revenant Supercarrier!

Clarifying the economic damage of the Senkakus row
Japanese conservatives contend that people should not get "emotional" about the economic consequences of the current row with China over the Senkaku islands, implying that some things are more important than money. But what exactly are the economic consequences given that since 2009 China has been Japan's biggest trading partner?
According to the Finance Ministry, one-fifth of total Japanese exports in 2010 went to China, while the same portion was 7.7 percent in 2001. A Reuters analysis shows that Japan would suffer mightily if trade stopped, citing an annual loss of ¥12 trillion if exports went down to zero for only one month. Under such conditions, automobile companies would be the main loser. They'd lose ¥144 billion. Bank of America estimates that 25 percent of all Nissan's profits are derived in China, 21 percent for Toyota and 16 for Honda.
Moreover, Japanese companies directly invested ¥1 trillion in China in 2011, 60 percent more than what they spent in 2009. China's Bureau of Statistics says that as of the end of 2010 there were 22,307 joint Japan-China ventures operating in China comprising 3 million workers and accounting for 16 percent of all the country's foreign-related companies.
Still, the sector that tends to get the most media attention in Japan is tourism, since visitors from China spend more here than visitors from any other country. According to the Asahi Shimbun, China's state tourism agency, which controls some 5,500 travel agencies all over the country, has stopped selling tours to Japan for the time being. Cancellations of reservations already made amount to about 500 million yuan, or ¥6.2 billion.
For the big vacation week of Oct. 1, there were at least 10,000 cancellations. China said it originally expected to sell some 45,000 individual tour packages to Japan for that week. On the other hand the agency said that the number of Chinese tourists who visited South Korea during the big vacation week was 125,000, a new record. They spent the equivalent of ¥190 billion, according to South Korea's retailers association. Department stores and duty-free shops, in particular, did booming business.
Japanese companies lose less with cancellations of Japanese tourists going to China, but the cancellations do have an effect on Japanese airlines and tour packagers. Various media have reported that there were around 52,000 seat cancellations on flights between Japan and China as of September 24, with 37,000 on ANA and 15,000 on JAL. Many of these cancellations were Japanese business travelers, who tend to pay premium prices for tickets.
Japanese tour companies suffered, too. China and South Korea are always two of the top three destinations in terms of number of Japanese tourists, and Sankei Shimbun reports there has been a 30-45 percent decrease in the number of tours to these two countries in the second half of the year compared to the same period last year. This negative effect spreads to other sectors, since tourist companies are also not bothering to advertise. They say it would just be a waste of money.

PHP and Web Services
- PHP and Web Services
- The Future of Web Services
- Using PHP to Create Web Services
- Summary
Web services are one of the most talked-about technologies of the day. They are set to change how data is exchanged on the Internet as the Internet itself evolves to deliver content not only to web browsers on PCs but also to PDAs and other devices. Further still, the evolution of "Internet-ready" software and hardware will see web services being used in applications such as MP3 players, personal stereos, and game consoles. PHP is a great language for developing web services, and this chapter shows you just what a web service is and how it is made up. Then we will look at how you can use PHP to develop web services.
What Makes Up a Web Service?
A web service is made up of four parts, as shown in Figure 9.1. The first part is the component that wants to act as a web service. It can be any part of an application: the executable, a COM component, a JavaBean, and so on. The web service component exposes public methods and functions that other applications can query. Your component could be one that you have created for this purpose, but normally you can expose any component that has public methods as a web service.
Figure 9.1 The makeup of web services.
You must allow your components to be accessed by other applications as a web service. To do this, you must allow other applications to see what public functions and methods your components have. You don't allow applications to do this directly. To accomplish this, you create a file based on an XML-based metalanguage called Web Services Description Language (WSDL).
Next you must allow applications to query the WSDL file and exchange data with the web service.
For this purpose, you use another XML-based metalanguage called Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
Using SOAP, you look up the web service component's public methods and functions using the WSDL file and then query those methods and functions. However, you don't always know where to find a web service's WSDL file. In that case, you can look at an XML-based database (also called a registry) of WSDL addresses. This database is called a Uniform Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) registry.
The easiest way to remember the component parts of a web service is to think in terms of these three concepts:
Discovery: UDDI lets you discover web services.
Query: WSDL lets you query web services.
Transport: SOAP lets you transmit those queries back and forth from the web service.
Don't worry if some of these terms are new to you. They are covered in further detail later in this chapter. Now that we have identified all the component parts of a web service, let's look at each in detail.
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
In Chapter 5, "PHP and Sessions," SOAP was mentioned briefly when we looked at how WDDX developed. SOAP, like WDDX, is an XML-based language. Unlike WDDX, however, and like another XML-based language, XML-RPC, it is used for RPC (Remote Procedure Call) via XML. XML-RPC started life as an idea of Dave Winer of UserLand software. He discussed his ideas with Microsoft, and from his ideas, SOAP was born. (XML-RPC continues to develop as a protocol separate from SOAP.)
Other companies (such as IBM) joined Microsoft in developing SOAP. Soon after that, implementations of SOAP for languages such as Java (via IBM) and Visual C++ and Visual Basic (via Microsoft) were released.
Using SOAP
So how is SOAP used? SOAP is an XML-based language, so in effect, all SOAP implementations do is create XML files or strings that facilitate passing data and calling methods between (normally remote) applications. SOAP does not have to be strictly about web services; in other words, it does not require WSDL or UDDI to work and can be used in a standard RPC manner. SOAP is often described as passing objects between applications; this can be both misleading and confusing. All SOAP does is allow a public function or method to be queried via an XML interface. It does not pass physical objects in the same way that Java serialization does, for example.
When an application queries a public function or another application's methods, it passes some data to that function or method and might get results in return. A public function or method does not always do this, but it is good practice that such functions or methods at least return some handshake data (a simple code that allows the calling application to see that the public function or method has received the data it sent).
When dealing with remote applications, you might face data type problems. That is, different languages have different ways of representing data. You might have some success on this front. For example, Java and PHP have very similar data types, but when dealing with calling applications that might be made up of languages such Perl, Python, and C++, you will face a nightmare.
If you imagine that your remote application is developed in Java and your calling clients are made up of PHP and Visual Basic, you might face few problems with the PHP application calling the remote Java application. But you will face a lot of problems when you do the same with a Visual Basic application.
Luckily, SOAP deals with this by presenting a standard way of representing data. Imagine that your remote Java application function accepts a string. Using SOAP, you translate the calling application data into the SOAP equivalent and pass that to the remote Java application. The Java application then translates the SOAP string data into the Java equivalent.
This can work in reverse too so that if your Java application returns a result, it does so as SOAP data for your client applications to translate back into native data types. So, in effect, SOAP does not really let you pass objects between applications. Instead, it provides the means to interface between different objects in different languages.
I was once asked if SOAP, based on part of its definition (simple object), is for simple objects only. Its meaning is not to be confused with objects in the sense we use them in OOP languages such as C++. It does not need to know what an object does, how it exists, or how it works. In fact, the very use of the word object can be misleading. SOAP does not require objects to exist in a true OOP sense. They can be nothing more than public functions and methods and are not subject to OOP concepts such as encapsulation.
SOAP Transparency
Because SOAP is XML-based, it is nothing more than ASCII data that is being transmitted (and therefore is as simple as standard text). This is one of key benefits of SOAP. It uses simple character encoding (ASCII) as a file format. It can be transmitted on any protocol that supports the transmission of ASCII data. As it happens, most TCP/IP protocols do. This allows SOAP to be used across HTTP (the most common protocol to be used with SOAP), FTP, SMTP, and so on. This brings an added benefit in that such protocols don't require special ports and security measures such as firewalls. They run through commonly used ports. (This advantage is also enjoyed by other XML-based RPC methods, such as XML-RPC.)
This property is also apparent when you compare SOAP to other RPC methods. In PHP, you can also make use of DCOM (which is used with COM), CORBA (which uses the IIOP protocol), and Java (which natively supports the RMI protocol). Protocols that facilitate RPC are called wire protocols because they are low-level and require special ports. SOAP, however, has no such requirements.
SOAP's Makeup
What exactly is SOAP made of? A SOAP message is called a SOAP envelope. The following code exemplifies a SOAP envelope:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle= "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
An envelope contains a body, which can be either a SOAP body call or a SOAP body response.
SOAP Body Call
When a call is made to a public function or method, this is done with a SOAP body call. Such a body call looks something like this:
<SOAP-ENV:Body> <SOAPSDK1:HelloFunc xmlns:SOAPSDK1="http://tempuri.org/message/"> <uname xmlns:SOAPSDK2="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAPSDK3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" SOAPSDK2:type="SOAPSDK3:string">Andrew</uname> </SOAPSDK1:HelloFunc> </SOAP-ENV:Body>
Here the HelloFunc method is passed a string of data called "Andrew". Note that SOAP has added a mapping of what data we are passing to the public service or method:
A completed SOAP envelope calling a public service or method looks like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle= "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <SOAPSDK1:HelloFunc xmlns:SOAPSDK1="http://tempuri.org/message/"> <uname xmlns:SOAPSDK2="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAPSDK3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" SOAPSDK2:type="SOAPSDK3:string">Andrew</uname> </SOAPSDK1:HelloFunc> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
SOAP Body Response
In response to a call to a public function or method, SOAP can respond to that call using the SOAP body response:
<SOAP-ENV:Body> <SOAPSDK1:HelloFuncResponse xmlns:SOAPSDK1="http://tempuri.org/message/"> <Result xmlns:SOAPSDK2="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAPSDK3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" SOAPSDK2:type="SOAPSDK3:string">hello Andrew</Result> <uname xmlns:SOAPSDK4="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAPSDK5="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" SOAPSDK4:type="SOAPSDK5:string">Andrew</uname> </SOAPSDK1:HelloFuncResponse># </SOAP-ENV:Body>
The SOAP body result contains any data that the public function or method returns:
<Result xmlns:SOAPSDK2="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAPSDK3="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" SOAPSDK2:type="SOAPSDK3:string">hello Andrew</Result>
along with the original method call:
<uname xmlns:SOAPSDK4="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAPSDK5="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" SOAPSDK4:type="SOAPSDK5:string">Andrew</uname>
Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
In the web services sense, although SOAP helps you exchange data between the public functions or methods of a web service, it can't help you explain which public functions or methods are available and what they do. Without this information, you can't use SOAP to exchange data, because you have no idea what is available to help you facilitate the exchange.
For this purpose, we have Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Like SOAP, WSDL is an XML-based file format for describing what public functions and methods are available in a web service. Other applications use the WSDL file to find this information and then use SOAP against those described public functions or methods.
WSDL File Makeup
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?> <!-- Generated 09/24/01 by Microsoft SOAP Toolkit WSDL File Generator, Version 1.02.813.0 --> <definitions name ='PHP4WINSOAP' targetNamespace = 'http://tempuri.org/wsdl/' xmlns:wsdlns='http://tempuri.org/wsdl/' xmlns:typens='http://tempuri.org/type' xmlns:soap='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:stk='http://schemas.microsoft.com/soap-toolkit/wsdl-extension' xmlns='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/'> <types> <schema targetNamespace='http://tempuri.org/type' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:SOAP-ENC='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' xmlns:wsdl='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/' elementFormDefault='qualified'> </schema> </types> <message name='Examples.HelloFunc'> <part name='uname' type='xsd:anyType'/> </message> <message name='Examples.HelloFuncResponse'> <part name='Result' type='xsd:anyType'/> <part name='uname' type='xsd:anyType'/> </message> <portType name='ExamplesSoapPort'> <operation name='HelloFunc' parameterOrder='uname'> <input message='wsdlns:Examples.HelloFunc' /> <output message='wsdlns:Examples.HelloFuncResponse' /> </operation> </portType> <binding name='ExamplesSoapBinding' type='wsdlns:ExamplesSoapPort' > <stk:binding preferredEncoding='UTF-8'/> <soap:binding style='rpc' transport= 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http' /> <operation name='HelloFunc' > <soap:operation soapAction= 'http://tempuri.org/action/Examples.HelloFunc' /> <input> <soap:body use='encoded' namespace='http://tempuri.org/message/' encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' /> </input> <output> <soap:body use='encoded' namespace='http://tempuri.org/message/' encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' /> </output> </operation> </binding> <service name='PHP4WINSOAP' > <port name='ExamplesSoapPort' binding='wsdlns:ExamplesSoapBinding' > <soap:address location='http://localhost/phpbook/Chapter9 _SOAP/SOAP/Server/PHP4WINSOAP.ASP' /> </port> </service> </definitions>
As you can see, the WSDL file format is quite a complicated one. The three most important pieces are the port type, binding, and service name.
Port Type
The port type defines which public functions or methods are available. It uses the full name, which in this case is the HelloFunc method of the Examples class:
<portType name='ExamplesSoapPort'> <operation name='HelloFunc' parameterOrder='uname'> <input message='wsdlns:Examples.HelloFunc' /> <output message='wsdlns:Examples.HelloFuncResponse' /> </operation> </portType>
Binding describes how calls are made to each public method or function of a web service. In other words, it describes what encoding a client application should use when querying that public method or function.
<binding name='ExamplesSoapBinding' type='wsdlns:ExamplesSoapPort' > <stk:binding preferredEncoding='UTF-8'/> <soap:binding style='rpc' transport='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http' /> <operation name='HelloFunc' > <soap:operation soapAction= 'http://tempuri.org/action/Examples.HelloFunc' /> <input> <soap:body use='encoded' namespace='http://tempuri.org/message/' encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' /> </input> <output> <soap:body use='encoded' namespace='http://tempuri.org/message/' encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' /> </output> </operation> </binding>
This line describes what encoding will use of the binding:
<stk:binding preferredEncoding='UTF-8'/>
This must match the encoding for your XML file (the encoding specified in the XML header). Next you specify what the binding is (RPC) and its transport (HTTP):
<soap:binding style='rpc' transport='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http' />
Next you specify what function you will call as Hello Func:
<operation name='HelloFunc' > <soap:operation soapAction='http://tempuri.org/action/Examples.HelloFunc' />
The WSDL file describes the encoding you use to query the web service and obtain a result:
<input> <soap:body use='encoded' namespace='http://tempuri.org/message/' encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' /> </input> <output> <soap:body use='encoded' namespace='http://tempuri.org/message/' encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' /> </output>
Although it's important to understand the structure of a WSDL file, you won't often need to write a WSDL file yourself. Most web service toolkits have tools for creating WSDL files for you.
Service Name
The service name defines where the WSDL gateway will be. A WSDL gateway is used to query the web service's component. A WSDL file passes the gateway information back to the client application. Such queries from the client application go to the gateway and on to the web service component and back.
<service name='PHP4WINSOAP' > <port name='ExamplesSoapPort' binding='wsdlns:ExamplesSoapBinding' > <soap:address location='http://localhost/phpbook/Chapter9 SOAP/SOAP/Server/PHP4WINSOAP.ASP' /> </port> </service>
A gateway is language-independent. For instance, our example uses ASP, but the gateway can be developed in any language you like, as long as it supports XML. All it does is work in unison with the WSDL file to allow client applications to pass SOAP queries back and forth between the web service and the client application.
Uniform Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI)
Although you can now look up and query a web service's public methods and functions, finding a web service presents a problem. It can't be found using normal means such as a web search engine. If your company wants to make use of web services, it needs to make them generally available to all calling applications, not simply provide URLs on web pages for people to connect to.
Web services need a source of information all their own that an application can search and use to find WSDL files to query. UDDI was created for this purpose (see http://www.uddi.org). UDDI is another emerging standard for web services. It allows a company to register its company details, web page, and so on with a business group (for example, a car dealership could register with an automotive association). A person can then search the UDDI for companies within a business group or type via an application or directly via a web browser. More interestingly, UDDI allows companies to publish details of what web services are available (using brief descriptions and keywords) as well as the URLs of the WSDL files. An application can use this information to discover which web services a company has available.
Several public UDDI registries have been set up to allow companies to test and publish details of real-world web services. The Microsoft UDDI registry (http://uddi.microsoft.com), shown in Figure 9.2, serves such a purpose.
Figure 9.2 Microsoft's UDDI web site.
Microsoft also provides a test UDDI registry at http://test.uddi.microsoft.com (see Figure 9.3). Other UDDI registries are available from IBM at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/.

This game is just littered with lag cheats. Losing the will to carry on. Every single way the game is set up is to the benefit of cheaters - you can't report them in game, you can't cancel a game before you begin if you can recognize they will be a cheat, you can't blacklist them so you don't match with them again, you can't limit what region you play (e.g. the Chinese players are obsessed with cheating), you can't set limits on connection, ping etc. It's absolutely pathetic on Konami's part. And for the love of god why do they let single players play co-op? It's co-op, the clues in the sodding name man. It's a pity Konami are still stuck in 1992 and think it's acceptable to have peer to peer which as well as being crap is also ripe for cheaters.
What a sad state of affairs gaming has become this decade. To think that some people spend their time cheating in an online game where there is no reward for doing such. They know the person they are playing knows they are cheating, they can't have any satisfaction winning as they know's themselves they cheated to do it, so what's the point? What sad, pathetic little people.

Sun Jan 10 1999 12:00: I'm going through Joe's Garage a lot this weekend, mainly because I can't find Strictly Commercial. The first time I listened to it I didn't really like it, but now I am in the groove. The first disc is great, but the second gets into too many long guitar solos, which are not my favorite thing. Watermelon in Easter Hay, however, is a beautiful song which I can pay attention to despite the fact that it's nine minutes of guitar solo.
School starts tomorrow. I better get a schedule page up so I don't miss classes.

Comedy and Congress rarely go together, at least intentionally. But contrary to conventional thought, it is still possible for lawmakers to have a sense of humor — sort of.
Of the 435 members of the House, Jeff Nussbaum, a partner at West Wing Writers and founder of The Humor Cabinet, was able to name eight funny guys (and gals). That's 2 percent. Which happens to be pretty close to Congress' job-approval rating.
Texas Rep. Ralph Hall, the oldest member of Congress, was one of them, Bloomberg Businessweek reported.
Nussbaum, who has been behind the jokes of several of Washington's biggest names, said the 88-year old congressman from Rockwall is one of the House's funniest largely because of his age.
"With age comes wisdom, and also the license to say exactly what you're thinking at any given time," he said. "That's the root of Ralph Hall's humor."
In March, Hall got a few laughs from Mitt Romney when he said, "I never met a Mormon I didn't like," especially the teetotalers who "give me those airplane bottles of booze when we're on a flight."
Also included on Nussbaum's list are Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif., Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Calif., Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., and Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.
That's five men and three women — which means that 1 percent of the men in Congress have a sense of humor.
Is that news?
